Digital Science: Scaling Research Integrity with the Dimensions Author Check API

As research integrity challenges grow in scale and complexity, publishers need tools that fit naturally into editorial processes. This session introduces Digital Science’s Dimensions Author Check API, a new solution that delivers comprehensive research integrity insights into existing systems, supporting confident and consistent decisions about authors, editors, and reviewers at scale.

Powered by the most comprehensive research integrity dataset available, this API surfaces key information on researchers’ publication histories and collaboration patterns - flagging retracted publications, expressions of concern, atypical co-authorship networks, and other integrity indicators in real time.

The talk will also highlight a recent integration with Silverchair’s ScholarOne Manuscripts, which embeds Author Check’s insights directly into a leading manuscript submission platform. Attendees will learn how this integration enables early risk detection, reduces manual effort, and helps editorial teams maintain trust and efficiency across the publishing workflow.
